Angel of Death
Chapter 13

Yamanaka Inoichi was quite the well-known individual. Not only was he a member of the previous generation of the Ino-Shika-Cho formation outside of that he was a rather well known shinobi in his own right. While he wasn’t the head of his clan he was one of the best in the usage of his clan techniques which had led to his rank of jounin and his eventual rise to his current position as the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) which worked in counter-intelligence. Outside of that however he also operated as an active psychiatrist with specialization in ninja matters. In time he worked with various patients many of them quite well known themselves such as the ‘Copy Ninja’ Hatake Kakashi along with several members of the ANBU; after all being a ninja was an extremely high stress occupation and they would rather have a ninja to tell those usually classified details to instead of going to see a civilian shrink. Because of this he was often subject to the gory details that most would usually hold back.
In his years as a psychiatrist he had been tasked with two very specific special cases holding the names of Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto. He’d first received Uchiha Sasuke as a patient after the Uchiha Massacre from whom he’d gotten a very detailed account of what happened from the boy’s eyes. That he had been tortured and forced to watch the act over and over for a prolonged period actually explained the obsessive behavior he had shown since then. On the other hand the arrogance that he had developed along with it was not something he looked on favorably. The fact that the civilians had spoiled him rotten had also led to a haughtiness that he’d honestly never seen outside of members of the Hyuga clan. He had actually suggested the boy be dropped from the ninja program but had been overruled due to certain factors and their love of the Sharingan. Thus he had made it mandatory that the boy would meet with him biweekly until such time as he deemed him mentally stable.
Uzumaki Naruto had landed with him simply due to the fact that he was the Kyubi Jinchuriki. Naruto however appeared to be Sasuke’s polar opposite whereas the Uchiha had grown to become cold, cynical, and arrogant Naruto was bright in terms of outlook, brash, loud and naïve. However Inoichi knew the truth that it was a mere mask the boy had subconsciously developed and used to fool the villagers and mask his pain. In truth he knew the boy to his been lonely and quiet yet still warm to those he knew and trusted. The fact of the matter was it had been he who had discovered the true depth of Naruto’s particular problem and could still vividly remember explaining that to the Hokage.

Flashback no Jutsu:
The three men eyed each other quietly as they sat within the office of the Hokage. The first of these men was obviously the Hokage clad in his robes of office and sitting behind his desk with a serious frown upon his face. Also in the office was Morino Ibiki the new head of the Konoha T& I division and a bear of a man standing at 6’3 and nearly two hundred pounds of muscle clad in the signature uniform of a Konoha interrogator with a long black overcoat added to it, his hitae-tae secured to a bandanna which completely covered his head, two scars adorning his face one of which was only newly healed. Finally to finish the grouping was Yamanaka Inoichi also clad in the interrogator uniform, Ibiki’s predecessor and the new Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. The subject of their meeting was one Uzumaki Naruto who had reappeared within the village nearly one week ago.
“So Inoichi now that you have had time with young Naruto what is your diagnosis?” questioned Hiruzen.
“Sir it is definitely Amnesia; though not your typical case. Amnesia is a difficult thing and unlike other afflictions there really aren’t any rules, it’s more like a puzzle. It can happen in any number of ways physical or psychological, even a bit of both. It can be permanent or temporary; once again there are no rules. Naruto’s case however is different in that his memories are still there only they’ve been sealed off.” Explained Inoichi
At these words the two other men narrowed their eyes and for good reason. Fuinjutsu was an obscure and powerful art and not many possessed a talent to get passed even the basics of the art. Since the foundation of the village only a handful of true seal masters had called Konoha home, Uzumaki Mito, Uzumaki Kushina, and Namikaze Minato and all three were dead. Outside of them the next best were Jiraiya of the Sannin, Mitokado Homura, and Senju Tobirama. Of those three Jiraiya was the best, and even he was nothing when compared to the previous three mentioned.
“The seal itself from what I’ve been able to observe works on both a physical and psychological level. As you both know Amnesia is caused by shocks to the system; well in his case they are massive both physical and psychological. Physically he’s fine however his movements while fluid for one of his age are strained as if he is trying to walk through water and he can barely touch the ground. Psychologically the portion of his mind which contains his memories and experiences has been sealed tight yet there are holes. The words he uses, the words he reacts to; the phrases he employs, when I can write them down, both rationally and when he talks in his sleep and when he was in his coma. Even the way he walks; the way he talks or tenses his body when startled or seeing something that interests him. He appears to be a mass of contradictions; there’s a subsurface violence almost always in control, but very much alive. There’s also a pensiveness that seems painful for him, yet he rarely vents to the anger that pain must provoke.
Even with all of that the experience is still there. He can still do basic things, he can read, he can write, walk, talk everything one of his age should be capable of. Even though he has no memory of learning such things he still knows them. Basically from what I could see the seal simulated shocks to his brain creating pressure which caused certain systems to shut down in order to protect themselves. However as the shocks will fade and so will the pressure until there is no need to protect his psyche. As this happens the holes in the seal will slowly widen his skills and talents will come back to him. He’ll remember certain behavior patterns, perhaps even live them out subconsciously, his reactions will be instinctive. But there will be a gap and everything I saw tells me unless the seal is lifted it will be irreversible. Thus we return to the physical, his physical brain has been altered which can cause dramatic changes; which is what happened to Naruto. The damage is physical as if blocks were rearranged changing his structure from what it was.” Explained Inoichi pausing in his speech.
“And?” questioned Hiruzen motioning the man to continue.
“The recessed psychological pressures will allow, perhaps even now are allowing his skills and talents to come back to him. In truth I’ve never seen anything quite this complex, even my clans abilities aren’t so extensive to do something to such a degree as this was done to Naruto.” Finished Inoichi finally.
“Is he a danger?” questioned Ibiki after a moment.
“No. For all intents and purposes he may as well have spent the last few years in a coma. He remembers living in Konoha, he remembers the Hokage and everything else from that time but everything else is a blank. However what is troubling is the section that is supposed to hold Kyubi has also been blocked off.”
“Alright for the time being he will stay in the barracks until I can find him an acceptable place. The information on the Kyubi will remain an S-class secret while the information concerning his memories will only be fully revealed to members of the council. He will be enrolled in the Academy at the beginning of the next term” said Hiruzen after a few silent minutes.
Flashback no Jutsu Kai:

His predictions had come true as Naruto had slowly begun to display a number of skills that showed just how well trained he was. He moved silently and swiftly, he knew instinctively how to handle his sword as soon as Ibiki had returned it to him. Outside of that he hadn’t displayed anything of interest until after he started the academy and had took up pranking as a hoppy. When pushed he proved to be the fastest of his class and the superior of the chunin that had been assigned to catch him. He had a knack for traps and infiltration, his senses were sharper and reflexes well honed. He had quickly gotten a feel for drawing and channeling chakra along with the handling of kunai, though had struggled with shuriken and ninja wire.
It had only been when the dreams started that his routine had changed. He had become quiet and introspective and the number of pranks pulled had dropped drastically. His chasing of his then classmate Haruno Sakura had ceased as had his confrontations with Uchiha Sasuke. After he had returned from Nami no Kuni however the change had completed and he was apparently back to normal. No longer was he loud and brash as he had been; instead possessing a quiet confidence in his skills as well as a deep frustration. All this he learned through observation or from the words of his daughter, or various other individuals as Naruto was no longer required to see him. Such thoughts however were cut off as the store doors were opened and a new customer walked in.

The cultivation of assets was a process that all powers within the world had tried and met with various levels of success. The process differed as many had different philosophies on what truly made one an asset and not just a tool. The most obvious means of cultivation was money, however what one must realize is that a man that can be bought is a man that can be turned for in the end money is his only real companion and as such his loyalty is to whomever is willing to pay the most at the given time. Fear is also among the tricks used however when using fear one must always remember that there will always be those who will be unafraid or those who are opportunist who will wait it out and strike at the most precise moment. Then there is patriotism; which is used by all of the shinobi village’s and has been for the last century. Patriotism however takes time to develop which is why when going this route it is best to start off at a young age when it is easier to instill the love of village and country.
While all of these were good choices depending upon the situation the Mibu used none of them. For these were all ways to create tools and tools are things that can be easily cast aside. What the Mibu clan desired were assets, people of value to further their goal. Ni Yugito was one such prospective asset; not only was she the Nibi no Jinchuriki but she was a powerful kunoichi in her own right and if things worked out, their way into Kumo. Kumo for all intents and purposes may as well have been a dark zone for all anyone knew of it these days as no one seemed to be able to penetrate the village’s defenses. Spies had been sent and thwarted before they could even get within the village and even the vast spy network used by Konoha had no real information about the place.
Those however weren’t the main driving forces behind Ni Yugito’s recruitment. No, what truly had Kimimaru was the fact that she was among the top ten shinobi’s in all of Rai no Kuni. Her abilities were actually quite remarkable even without taking in the powers gained by her being Yoruichi’s container. According to the bingo book Yugito was an A-class shinobi and an expert in infiltration and assassination. As it was Kimimaru knew that the only reason she hadn’t been trained with them was due to her age as she was already an active kunoichi whose disappearance would’ve been noticed quite easily. At the same time her inclusion would have also put their plans ahead by years as in truth when they returned to their respective villages none of them had a true grasp of ninja arts. The bijuu as pure chakra constructs had no need for things like hand seals or even chakra control so all that they knew they mostly created themselves. However Ryoko had at least known the tree and water walking exercises and had taught them how to use those.
After they had been inducted into the Seven Swordsmen he and Haku had been trained by Momochi Zabuza personally and it was only through that man’s help that they now held grasps of their individual Kekki Genkai. Unfortunately all of the clan scrolls of bloodline wielding clans had been destroyed during the era of the Yondaime Mizukage as had all of the property. As it was there were scant few members of the various clans left, the two of them were only lucky that there remained a few elder members of their birth clans capable of teaching them. However in respect for their positions as swordsmen the two of them felt no need to truly utilize those skills and when they did all who witnessed them did not survive. That was beside the point however, the point was that Yugito’s presence would’ve been greatly appreciated by each of them even if it had made the group larger. Of course they would also need to get someone in place within Iwa, which meant that sooner or later they would have to get into contact with either one of the two Jinchuriki there. Once that was done and they had a completely established connection perhaps then they could finally truly begin.

The various teams of genin had been gathered and stood before a troupe of samurai. It was truly remarkable the number of teams that had managed to pass to this level they were now at. Looking around it appeared like every village that participated at least had one team make it through the caves. There were four teams from Konoha, two from Kumo, two from Kiri, two from Suna and one from Taki, two from Iwa and two from the newest addition to the shinobi villages Oto, one from Ame and the biggest surprise of all one from Uzu, what many had believed to be a destroyed nation. Already various jounin from the villages were speaking quietly with their comrades about this miraculous showing. The commanding samurai however paid this no mind at all as he stepped up and brought all attention had to himself.
“Firstly congratulations are due to all of you for making it this far. However as it stands there remains far too many teams left over from the previous exams for us to do things the traditional way. Usually from what we have been informed this exam is continued on an individual basis culminating in a tournament held on one day a month after completing the second exam. While we will keep this same date the tournament will also be a team competition. It will due to the number of competitors be set to take a number of days. As there are sixteen teams here we will have eight first round matches kicking off 31 days from now; any questions?” finished the samurai.
“Yea why such a long wait?” questioned one Ame gennin.
“The reasoning is rather simple. As you are all in the exam the leaders for your respective villages are given the option of attending. More than that many VIP’s will also be attending many of which have hectic schedules which they will have to clear or rearrange. At what you call a civilian’s pace it takes two weeks to get to this village depending on your distance thus these VIP’s would need ample time to not only make the journey but to make the needed arrangements for their time away from the various homes.” Explained the samurai.
“And what exactly are we supposed to do for an entire month?” questioned a Kiri genin with short white hair.
“You take that time to train for the third exam and for those of you injured use the time to heal up. As for the rest of the day I suggest using the time to rest from your trials within the caves. The samurai here will show you a way out of the cave directly to the village.” Responded the head of the group of samurai.
As they made their way out and through the caves Naruto, Gaara, and Fu eventually gravitated so that they were walking alongside each other with Fu taking the centermost position. As they linked up each of them adopted a relaxed poise that stood out within the still somewhat tense atmosphere. The atmosphere was only broken as they reached the end of the tunnel and were greeted by the outside world for the first time in three days. With an exchange of nods Gaara vanished in a whirl of sand while Fu seemingly just vanished in a blur; Naruto meanwhile linked back up with his current teammates and as one they left in a plume of smoke. Not much longer and the three gennin where entering their assigned room within the hotel they were staying at. As soon as they did it was Sakura who broke the silence surprisingly.
“Alright I’ve waited long enough; it’s about time you two spilled.” Said Sakura.
“Alright sit down.” Said Naruto taking a seat within a reclining chair while Sakura and Sasuke chose the couch.
“Now then would you care to tell us what it is you want to know?” questioned Naruto, taking the moment to practice the lessons on diplomacy he’d been learning.
“How about why the Kyubi isn’t dead and why we were all lied to. Also what’s this second Sharingan level and why doesn’t anyone know about it?” said Sakura
Naruto and Sasuke both remained silent for a while, the former thinking of how to tell her what she wanted to know, and the latter simply because it was now actually part of his nature. In the last few years if he was ever asked something he didn’t want to answer he just stayed quiet and ignored it.
“Very well but as this is an S-ranked secret you can tell no one, the consequences of doing so is death.” Said Naruto causing Sakura to go wide eyed while Sasuke just raised an eyebrow.
“The truth of the matter is as was stated before the bijuu are at the core of their natures chakra constructs given form. Because of this the bijuu cannot be killed, even if their bodies are completely destroyed the chakra that makes them up would just reform at a later date. Because of this when Kyubi was set against the village the Yondaime chose to seal it inside me. No one was ever supposed to know about it but a former councilman decided to use the information for his own ends and revealed the truth to the populace. Due to the public outcry Sarutobi-sensei declared the information an S-class secret punishable by death if anyone spoke of it outside of himself and the vessel who would be me.”
It was a simplified and highly edited version of the truth but still the truth. Of course he’d neglected to mention that there had been two Kyuubi no Jinchuuriki’s before himself, one of which had been his mother. Nor did he mention that the first Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Mito had actually been the one to defeat the fox and not her husband Senju Hashirama as everyone believed. He also hadn’t revealed the true name of Kyubi neither present or past. Originally however Kyuubi had been a male named Kurama by the Rikudo Sennin however after having two female vessels Naruto believed it had absorbed too much estrogen and due to its true nature as a chakra construct had shifted sexes to become the female Ryoko.
Sakura however didn’t need to be told anymore to put the pieces together. She could see why the Sandaime didn’t want anyone to know just by the way that the older generation had always treated Naruto for as long as she’d known him. Of course in the beginning she had been no better, especially while Naruto was still in his more annoying stage; she had only begun to feel bad for it after she had realized the depths of his situation. He had been an amnesiac no better off than if he’d fallen into a coma at age four, meaning he hadn’t yet held a full grasp of the maturity she thought he had lacked. It was only in Nami no Kuni after he’d regained his memories and after he’d taken her on a tree within the woods that her opinion had begun to change. Despite the fact that he wasn’t her boyfriend and had no intention of being he was still a very dear friend to her, one who she had no problem sharing a bed with.

Sasuke’s thoughts were nowhere near as deep as Sakura’s however. Unlike Sakura he focused on another particular piece of the subject. A councilman had tried to use the incident to his own advantage, and he had very little doubt that it had been Shimura Danzo. When he had talked to Kakashi and learned about all he had done and later the Sandaime Hokage, the Hokage had made it no secret that Danzo had ruined Naruto’s life and destroyed his chance at having a family while growing up. As his thoughts darkened his body throbbed in pain and he quickly went about clearing the thought from his mind.
“Now then for your other question.” Said Naruto breaking both from their respective thoughtful trances.
“There does indeed exist a second, evolved level of the Sharingan doujutsu. The Mangekyo Sharingan (Kaleidoscope Copy Wheel Eye) is the name of the advanced form of the eye. The eye grants the user the ability to use a few very powerful techniques in both the ninjutsu and genjutsu categories. However unlike the regular Sharingan it takes a specific action to awaken and that would be the death of the users closest friend.” Said Naruto causing Sakura to gasp while Sasuke’s look darkened.
“However what most users don’t realize until it is too late is that the Mangekyo is in truth a double edged sword, for with each usage the users worlds slowly darkens until they are inevitably forever engulfed in the darkness of blindness.” Said Naruto shocking both as even Sasuke hadn’t known that tidbit of information.
“How do you know that?” questioned Sasuke quickly.
“I make it my business to know about all of the so called San Daidojutsu (Three Great Dojutsu).” Explained Naruto shortly.
“I can see why that information would be kept secret if the populace knew the entire clan would have been ostracized.” Said Sakura
Before any of them could speak further on the subject all three tensed as the door made a slight noise before admitting Kakashi who walked in to find all three sitting with a kunai drawn. While he had to applaud their observational skills he knew it was only the tension from the second exam still with them.
“Alright you guys congratulations on making it through the second exam.” Said Kakashi as he took a seat on another chair.
“Because the exams are treated like a B-rank mission the three of you will all be receiving bonus checks for making it to the preliminaries. Since the three of you live on your own however a portion will be taken out to pay your rent so that you aren’t kicked out of your places. For taking place in the main tournament you will receive another bonus and if promoted a bonus equaling that of an A-ranked mission. As Hokage-sama and Koharu-sama both must arrive with the delegation on near the end of the waiting time they have obtained special teachers for the two of you who should be arriving later in the week. Until they arrive however you are directed to train on your own with whatever it is you are working on.” Said Kakashi directing the last bit towards Naruto and Sakura
“As for you Sasuke your training will begin with me tomorrow, we’ll be leaving first light and won’t be back until it’s time for the tournament.” Said Kakashi.
“Why wait?” questioned Sasuke standing to his feet.
“Are you sure? I’m giving you this day to rest after the last exam.” Said Kakashi.
“I’ve gotten plenty of rest already.” Said Sasuke causing Kakashi to shrug.
“Good luck you two, I’ll be checking in on you from time to time so stay out of trouble.”
With that said Kakashi placed his hand on Sasuke’s shoulder before both vanished. Naruto seeing this moved to stand but Sakura spoke up quickly getting him to stop.
“We’re having a get together later so you should come by.”
“Where’s it going to be?” questioned the blond.
“At Ino’s.”
Hearing this Naruto nodded before standing and making his way to his room for some much needed sleep.

“Now that we have all gathered let us know why we are here Zetsu.” Said the voice of Akatsuki’s leader just one amongst a group of shadowed figures who were mumbling about the rarity of them meeting again so soon.
Zetsu was a strange being if one were to be honest about it. While most of Akatsuki’s agents was strange in one way or another Zetsu was the one who took the cake. Among the group he was one who was easily distinguished by two large venus fly-trap like extensions that envelop his head and upper body, giving him a plant-like appearance. When his extensions are open and his head is visible, it is revealed that Zetsu has short green hair, yellow eyes, and that his body has two different colored halves. Despite his rather strange appearance he was the groups designated spy managing to get in to places most others would find rather problematic without even being sensed. He was most useful as a scout finding people who could replace lost members rather easily despite the high criteria which the group required for admittance.
“The chuunin exams have begun in earnest in Tetsu no Kuni. Three of our priority targets have made it into the main exam.” Reported Zetsu his tone changing into a deeper one in his second sentence, something all the members had eventually grown used to.
“Do you have any idea of who they are?” questioned one of the shadows.
“Nope. None of those I heard speaking mentioned any names. It seems someone will have to be present there to identify them.” Said Zetsu.
“We are only a week away from Tetsu no Kuni by civilian travel. Perhaps we should head there.” Said Itachi dispassionately
“Very well. Any other volunteers?” questioned the leader.
“We shall go as well, we are within similar distance.” Said another voice.
The shadowed figure was easily the shortest in the group, no surprise given his hunched over appearance. However other than that nothing could be made out with him not only due to him being just a shade, but due to the fact that he wore the conical straw hat and his robe like all of theirs possessed a chin high collar.
“Very well your two teams shall be the ones to go.” Said Pein ending that portion of the discussion.
“Also Orochimaru has sent two teams from his village to attend. A team from Uzushio is also in attendance.” Said Zetsu
“Impossible that village hell that whole country was wrecked.” Exclaimed a voice hotly.
“Obviously there were survivors who chose to rebuild.” Said another dispassionately.
“Why does that matter un?” questioned another.
“Idiot it means that members of the Uzumaki clan actually survived. If they feel confident enough to make their return the entire power structure of the nations could change.” Said the hunched figure.
“We will keep an eye on them, but for now we will not act.”

Back in Tetsu no Kuni Tenten flew through her kata at a fast pace with her sword. Her sword, or rather her zanpakuto took the form of a katana measuring at a full 41 inches with 28 inches making up the blade. The handle was wrapped in a soft blue cloth while the handle itself was white giving the appearance of white diamond markings due to the wrapping. The tsuba however was in the shape of not just a spiral but the Uzumaki clan symbol. As she went through the motions she couldn’t help but feel exhilarated as she had never felt so comfortable with any of her weapons before she had gotten this one, which she thought of as more of a partner than a weapon.
“That’s quite the form you have.” Said a new voice intruding on her practice.
Quickly snapping around towards it she was greeted with the sight of a woman that stood at about 5’5” with long brown hair that was styled into a pair of buns on each side of her head before coming out into twin tails that fell down to just past her waist while two bangs framed her face. She had large bright brown eyes and two purple rectangular markings on each of her cheeks. She was dressed in a pair of black pants that appeared to be made of leather with a turtle-neck style sweater that was also black while she wore an aqua colored flak jacket that matched Konoha’s exactly from what she could see. On her hip she kept a sheathed katana of her own while on her head was a hitae-tae which symbol held a familiar spiral.
“Thank you; but may I ask what your doing so far from the village?” questioned Tenten warily.
“I was actually looking for you Tenten-chan, after all I haven’t seen you in over a decade.” Said the woman causing the girls eyes to narrow.
“You know me?” questioned the girl with a frown.
“Of course. I am your mother you should recognize me as well.”
“Look lady I don’t know who you are but you picked the wrong subject. My mother is dead.” Said Tenten hotly.
“True enough I did die but I’m an Uzumaki there’s always a chance for us to come back the first time. If you don’t believe me we could always just go ask your father.” Said the woman
“My father?” questioned Tenten causing the woman’s eyes to narrow.
“Yes you know tall lanky guy, silver hair, kind of famous.” Said the woman only for Tenten to look at her confused.
“How is it you don’t know who he is? I know we were young but he loved you more than he loved himself!” exclaimed the woman shocking the girl with the outburst.
“Come on we’re getting this straightened out right now.”
With that said the woman grabbed her by the arm before they both vanished in a burst of speed.

He had slept for a good four hours before his bio-clock had awoken him. Seeing as how the get together Ino was throwing was set for later that night and it was only noon he found he had plenty of time to get some training in. He soon found himself in a spacious area away from the samurai village with nothing but forest surrounding him. Creating a squad of Kage Bunshin he sent them off to guard the perimeter, ensuring that no one could spy on his training. That done he created another fifty clones sending forty to work on exercises while keeping ten in reserve for later usage. It was a secret part of his training which only Sarutobi-sensei knew about, being that he’d already begun training his elemental natures. Thanks to Kurohime and Tenro he had come far with his wind manipulation and thanks to the sheer abundance of clones he could make had nearly mastered all of the human exercises for control.
Unlike most that he knew of he already had three powerful elements that he had an affinity to. He actually had affinities for wind, water, and fire all in equally high strengths. While he’d always had the wind affinity, which he remembered working with Kukaku to learn when he was younger, he had developed fire all on his own. He had only discovered his newer affinity for water within the last few months; his wind and water affinities were so strong they equaled Haku’s only he had the added affinity for fire strong enough to rival that. He himself often questioned how he could have such conflicting natures, especially after his sensei had him to read up on their philosophy after he’d tested him for said affinities.
For instance Wind his original affinity was the element of freedom, and the people with such natures were usually open-minded, carefree, and somewhat brash. The wind was thought of as having a strong will, elusiveness, evasiveness, benevolence, compassion, and wisdom. One did not direct the wind, only hope to guide it and while generally passive wind was also extremely dangerous one need only think of a hurricane to see that. Water however was supposed to be fluid, formless, flowing, graceful, and represented tranquility, defensiveness, adaptability, flexibility and suppleness. Most people who possessed the water affinity were in all actuality gentle and kind more defensive then offensive in nature. Just as water adapted to situations so too did its users however despite its innate gentleness water could not be forced too far before it became brutal and drowned everyone caught in its wake.
Fire was energetic and forceful. It was the element of power, consisting of overpowering force tempered by the unflinching will to accomplish tasks and desires. Fire however also represented anger, rage, and hatred. A fire user was said to be full of motivation, desire, intention, and possess an outgoing spirit. While beneficial to life fire was a wild element and while it could be controlled to an extent when dealing with fire people always ran the risk of being burned. That had been the lesson taught to him by Sarutobi-sensei after he had returned from Nami no Kuni and had begun his training in earnest. Sarutobi-sensei had believed that he possessed various pieces of these traits within himself which had given rise to the three natures, and he himself secretly wondered if that was why he possessed two zanpakuto’s with not only opposing elements but natures.
A gentle nudge brought him from his thoughts and he blinked as he brought himself out of his light meditation. For a moment he remained still before feeling newfound pressure on his body as he modified his gravity seal. He had been adjusting it by small increments every time he found himself able to move normally for so long that he no longer felt the pressure and now instead of 2 times gravity he was set at four. Standing to his feet he took a moment to watch the work of his clones; the bulk of his clones were working on chakra control as he always directed now early in his training it had been beaten in his head that chakra control would be essential to his growth and this had been a lesson repeated by his sensei. At the moment he had ten doing a variation of the kunai balancing exercise, balancing on the limb of a tree using only a finger to keep them attached. Another ten were working on elemental control, trying to create and stabilize either a ball of fire or wind within a single hand. Twenty were working on elemental exercises to further his ability. While ten were working on cutting rocks to bits with wind chakra another ten were trying to create a wide burst of fire from their hands.
The final ten that he had sitting on the sidelines weren’t necessarily being idle in that they were working to further his calligraphy before he could delve back into his fuinjutsu practice. Seeing all the clones at work he walked out of the clearing before beginning a jog to find a new ground to occupy. Once he was relatively deep into a forested area he created a new batch of clones which quickly dispersed themselves throughout the forest. Drawing the blades hidden within his bracers he set himself in a defensive stance and waited for the melee to begin.

Morino Ibiki calmly stood from his seat as he was called in to meet with the leader of the samurai, the general Mifune. Despite the fact he was here for the exams he was also given a secondary mission while he was here, that was to learn anything about a select group of swords. As he entered the office of the lead samurai he saw that Mifune was a man with long grey hair, which almost reaches down to his waist, with bandages wrapped around his head, most likely to cover a wound from a previous battle. He has black eyes with distinct wrinkles underneath them. He also has a grey goatee and moustache and wore a blue and grey kimono-like outfit.
“Morino-san what can I help you with?” questioned Mifune after his office door was closed.
“Hokage-sama has recently come upon some information and requests your expertise in determining its validity.” Explained Ibiki.
“Oh, and what would trouble the legendary ‘Professor’ that he would need seek the aid of a samurai?” questioned Mifune with a raised eyebrow.
“Have you ever heard of a set of swords collectively known as the Demon Blades?” questioned Ibiki.
“Ah that would explain it. The Great Demon Blades or rather the True Muramasa as they are properly called, are indeed legendary weapons.” Said Mifune.
“So they are real?” questioned Ibiki.
“Indeed. They were created over five hundred years ago by the master blacksmith Muramasa. While there are many weapons accredited to him, these five are the real deal. What brings this sudden questioning?” returned Mifune.
“One of our genin is in possession of a sword called Tenro.” Explained Ibiki causing Mifune to actually look up.
“So he actually returned to the Hidden Leaf? I wonder what could have prodded that.” Mused Mifune as he stood to his feet.
“You know who I speak of?” questioned Ibiki with narrowed eyes.
“Indeed, I know young Naruto personally. However last I heard he had no intention of ever returning to Konoha. Still I’m surprised no one reported seeing Tenro, it’s not exactly easy to hide.” Said Mifune.
“Naruto returned to the Leaf a little over two years ago with nearly complete amnesia. He has since recovered his memories but no one feels like pressing him at the moment. As for the sword it shouldn’t be hard to hide a kodachi.” Explained Ibiki.
“Kodachi no; but Tenro isn’t a kodachi but a nodachi and Naruto was always too proud to hide it.” Said Mifune.
“Why would that be?” questioned Ibiki.
“As I stated earlier the True Muramasa are legendary weapons, so much in fact that there are many copies made of them, which pale in comparison. They cannot be broken, bent, cracked, or even dulled, they can cut through steel and iron. Each blade is said to possess a mind of its own and an aura of bloodlust that surrounds it. No one but Naruto can wield Tenro, the one person I saw who tried was possessed by the sword and became a mindless killing machine. I believe that would hold true to the others as well.” Explained Mifune.
“Yet Naruto can control it?” questioned Ibiki with a raised eyebrow.
“Indeed he can. When in his possession you can’t even feel the bloodlust the blade naturally produces.” Clarified Mifune.
“What of the other four?” questioned Ibiki.
“The other four are called Shibien (Black Sword), which is actually the oldest and most bloodthirsty of the group. Next is Hokuto Shichisei (Big Dipper), Hokuraku Shimon (Demon Spear), the last however he died before he could name; at least that’s how the story goes. I hope that helps.” Explained Mifune.
“One last thing. You said earlier you said you knew Naruto had no intention of returning to the leaf why?” questioned Ibiki.
“Back then he was full of anger and hatred mostly directed at the people of the hidden leaf. When he left he was going to search out any remaining Uzumaki” said Mifune.
Hearing this Ibiki thanked him and left with much to think on and report. Mifune however called in his secretary as he wanted to look at all the genin within the village.

Ino’s small get together was held at the Akabako much to Choji’s delight. As he arrived and was escorted to the room holding their group Naruto was surprised to see that everyone with the sole exception of Sasuke had shown up. Even the members of team Gai had shown up well at least Lee and Tenten had the latter looking as if her mind was elsewhere, Neji however was nowhere to be seen. Somehow despite the fact that they hung out in their own small groups during the academy, or weren’t even part of the class, they all managed to blend together quite easily and began telling stories of what they’d seen during the exams and during missions. Naruto was silent for the most part merely an observer to the festivities.
At one point during the meal Ino had even convinced a waitress to bring in some sake for the group to get a taste of. However just as the drinks were arriving Tenten smoothly struck Lee in the back of the neck sending him into the land of unconsciousness. As everyone gawked the bun haired girl explained that Lee was a natural at suiken (drunken fist) and with as little as just one drop of alcohol he becomes an unpredictable, unstoppable force of destruction and chaos not even able to distinguish friend from foe. In fact when their team had discovered this fact it had resulted in the demolishment of a restaurant and the thrashing of the entire team.
The revelry was cut short as the door was suddenly slid open admitting a trio of figures within the doorway. In the center of the group was a boy who wore a pair of white pants and a blue shirt that seemed to cling to him like Lee’s spandex. He stood at nearly 5’5” and looked to be about sixteen with short blond hair parted down the middle with each side spiked up at an angle, broad shoulders and cold blue eyes and a Kumo hitae-tae acting as a belt. On his left was another boy who stood at about 5 feet even and also had blond hair only his was held in a short ponytail that ended at his shoulder with matching blue eyes. He wore a pair of black pants and a matching jacket that was zipped up with black boots, his hitae-tae secured to his forehead. The final member was a girl who stood to the far right. She stood at 5’3” and had short brown hair and wore light purple pants with a white top with billowing sleeves over which she wore a light purple sleeveless kimono-like top held closed by an obi tied into a butterfly knot in the back and the hitae-tae embedded within the cloth. Her legs were also mostly covered by a pair of white boots that traveled up to just a few inches beneath her knee.
“Well now it appears all the runts of the hidden leaf are gathered together, though they don’t look all that hot.” Spoke the shorter boy as they entered.
“What do you want?” questioned Shikamaru lazily before anyone could rise to take the bait.
“Nothing much just wanted to check out the competition.” Said the girl cheekily.
“You should all take this as a warning to give up. If we match up, you’ll end up just like that cup.” Said the tallest one pointing towards Kiba.
Just as they all looked Kiba’s cup suddenly split in half causing several of them to jump back in shock. Seeing his point delivered the tall Kumo-nin left the room along with his teammates leaving the leaf nin to their own devices.

Within the palace of the Fire Daimyo a trio of girls could be seen within a large room. In the center of them was Azula who had forgone her uniform and instead now wore a sleeveless red top that covered from the upper portion of her breast and stopped at a point several inches above her bellybutton held up by straps which tied behind her neck. She also wore a matching skirt that stopped well above her knees allowing her smooth legs to be seen. Along with her were her friends Mai and Ty Lee. Mai was a 15 year old girl who wore a short red bikini top that covered her breast held up by straps on her arms and a long skirt that fell to ankles held in place by a red sash that was tied together on her right side in a bow. She had long black hair with small eyes with her face set in a bored expression. Ty Lee was a 14 year old girl with long brown hair held in a braided ponytail and matching brown eyes. She had just finished securing the top portion to her white bikini and wore a short white skirt that stopped at her mid-thigh level.
Her two friends had actually been close to her for quite some time. The three of them had met as children at the Royal Academy for girls and had been inseparable ever since. While both girls were from rather noble families Mai’s father was currently the governor of Tanzaku-Gai one of the country’s largest tourist attractions. Due to the fact that all three were civilians despite their social ranks they were still required to attend school and thus attended the same one within the capitol.
“So what’s with the sudden call? I doubt you’d call us over just to have people to go swimming with you.” Said Mai her tone displaying boredom but easily overlooked by the other two.
“Actually we’re heading to Tetsu for the Chuunin Exam tournament and I was hoping you two wanted to go.” Said Azula stretching out her arms.
“Sure I’ll go.” Said Ty Lee brightly flipping herself backwards and landing seated on the bed unintentionally flashing her bottoms.
“Why not.” Said Mai with a careless shrug.
“Good. With you two there I might not end up frying that damned water girl.” Said Azula causing Ty Lee to giggle while Mai simply shook her head.

He opened his eyes slowly having laid awake for the last thirty minutes feeling the need for laziness. He had turned in early the previous night having been taken out of a celebratory mood by the interruption of the three Kumo-nin. Rolling out of bed he grabbed a change of clothes and headed for the shower; emerging forty five minutes later feeling fully awake and refreshed. As he entered the common room however he was greeted to the sight of a man seated calmly upon the couch drinking tea. The man had long spiky white hair that fell behind his back and was actually a bigger giant than Ibiki. He wore green pants to match a green short shirt-kimono, under which he could see some mesh that stood out on his chest and from under the sleeves of his shirt. He wore geta sandals and a red cloak with two yellow circles on it while a large scroll sat on the floor beside him.
“So your Sarutobi-sensei’s newest student.” Said the man eyeing the blond appraisingly.
“Jiraiya.” Said the blond with narrowed eyes.
“Ah so you already know who I am. Sensei must have told you who I was then.” Said Jiraiya causing Naruto to scoff.
“He didn’t need to. I already know who you are; the godfather that abandoned me so that he could go around peeking and spending time with whores.” Said Naruto his round pupils visibly changing to slits.
“Excuse me?’ said Jiraiya in shock.
“Despite what you lead people to believe I know you’re not that stupid. I also know Sarutobi-sensei told you I had this.” Said Naruto showing the glowing skull marking on the back of his right hand.
Suddenly the relaxed man had vanished and in his place was the veteran shinobi hailed as one of the Legendary Three with eyes that looked out with an intensity that Naruto’s own eyes would not bow to. As he looked into the boy’s eyes what Jiraiya found what lied under the veil of cold rage was pain and betrayal.
“You were at the top of my list to find when I returned and do you know what I found you doing? You were indulging yourself on booze and women in the capital carrying on like life was great. I only barely held back from running you through with my blade; an urge that is getting stronger in me by the moment.” Said the blond fingering Tenro’s hilt.
“So you found me, while I was looking for you.” Said Jiraiya causing Naruto to raise an eyebrow wondering what the man was getting at.
“When I found out you were missing I spent years searching for you. From the very bowels of Konoha, to Iwa and into Kumo I had people looking in every nook and cranny. I left you in Konoha with the full knowledge that you would be watched over and safe; meanwhile I was out tracking down any and every clue on who had destroyed the only family I had ever truly had.” Said Jiraiya.
“And you felt the need to indulge yourself to do this?” questioned Naruto.
“With your age I wouldn’t expect you to know this so I’ll tell it to you straight. Two of the biggest vices any man faces are liquor and women; when the two are put together in an effort to impress others many will reveal things that would have been better off left hidden.” Revealed Jiraiya.
“Wait are you saying that you were spying?” questioned Naruto his previous emotions vanishing in favor of confusion.
“Kid I run Konoha’s spy network and have assets nearly everywhere.” Revealed Jiraiya causing Naruto to take a step back in surprise.
“Why are you telling me this?” questioned Naruto knowing such a thing was best kept secret.
“Truthfully you’d have found out sooner or later anyway. Before sensei took you on as his own student you were originally supposed to be taught by me provided you were a genin for at least six months.” Said Jiraiya with a shrug.
“Now then if we’re done playing twenty questions I’m here to begin your training for the main exam. Is it true you already possess two summoning contracts?” Said Jiraiya after a few moments and transitioning into a new subject.
“Indeed because of my special circumstances. As I work directly under the Shinigami I’m granted the use of a single one of the Karasu summons as my familiar. Also due to my origins in being born with Kyubi’s energy running through me I’m able to summon the Kitsune army; however both of them have specific uses. For instance I’m not supposed to summon the kitsune’s for anything more than scouts or for an all-out invasion or attack force.” Revealed Naruto surprising Jiraiya with this knowledge.
“That’s why you’re able to have two contracts because they have specific requirements and restrictions.” Mused Jiriaya getting a nod.
“True however both give me a significant boost since I cannot use them like you would use your toads. For instance the Kitsune contract boosted my senses, seeing as I held Kyubi this was already done so signing the contract was really just a formality. Signing the Karasu contract however gave me these.”
As Naruto said this he turned around and lifted up his shirt. As he did Jiraiya’s eyes widened upon seeing the massive tattoo of wings upon his back (pic in profile). His eyes narrowed however and looking closer the man was further surprised as he was able to pick up on a major amount of energy focused within his back. As knowledgeable as he was in the arts of fuinjutsu he quickly deduced that the tattoo was in fact a sealing tattoo which acted to conceal an actual set of wings within his back if his guess was accurate.
“I’ve had it for a while but it only became active after I signed the contract.” Said Naruto pulling his shirt back down and turning back to face the Sannin.
While most people would have wondered about the blonde’s change in tactics when dealing with him Jiraiya did not for one reason only; he knew the boy’s parents. While the boy may have looked like his father for the most part he was an Uzumaki through and through and it showed in his actions. The Uzumaki clan had been suspicious by nature and always relied upon their instincts to guide them when dealing with people. When he’d first met the boy’s mother he saw her act much the same until she had determined that someone could be trusted. That was why he had revealed as much as he had, for if he suspected something was false he knew that door would slam closed faster than the blink of an eye. Once they trusted someone however the Uzumaki were surprisingly open people.
“Ok then since show and tell its over let’s head on out gaki.” Said Jiraiya picking his scroll up and slipping it so that it was on his back held there by a black cord.

An hour later found a panting and sweating Naruto pitched over with his hands on his knees as Jiraiya stood calmly across from him looking no worse than he had when they met. While he wouldn’t admit it Naruto had honestly impressed him, however in an effort to knock him down a few pegs Jiraiya had stayed at a level beyond the boys ability to match at the moment. Still the taijutsu only spar had shown the Sannin more than enough about the boy. He had speed, his style was fluid and he wasted no movements, he had stamina, and his hits when they connected could pack a lot of power. He had avoided all the blows but those he blocked showed the potential.
As it was when it came down to straight taijutsu the boy could go toe to toe with upper level chuunin however against a jounin it would be the experience that would win out in the end. Still the fact that he was nearing the jounin level when it came down to taijutsu said more than enough for the training he’d been getting from Sarutobi-sensei. As the boy stopped panting and stood up straight Jiraiya could see that he recovered quickly as well. His style had been deceptively brutal as well as he had expected something entirely different upon seeing his stance, something that was sure to work in his favor in the future.
“Alright gaki good run. Now I’ve heard about your triple affinities from Sarutobi-sensei so well be working mostly on ninjutsu. As we only share the fire affinity well be working mostly on that.” Said Jiraiya.
“That’s fine. Unless you can create a waterfall or a lake I don’t see how I could go forward with training the other two right now anyway.” Said the blond with a shrug.
“Oh you’ve already mastered the first level exercises for wind and water.” Said Jiraiya in surprise.
“I’ve long since done so with wind. Cutting a leaf with wind chakra is easy, I can even sharpen weapons and shave stones with ease. I haven’t pressed water anywhere near as much but without a large body of water around its unneeded.” Explained Naruto lightly.
“Well the first few jutsu I have for you aren’t elemental in nature anyway. When you get through all of those perhaps we can move on to that. Right now I have three for you and the third will most likely take you more time than we have in any case.” Said Jiraiya.
“I doubt that; I have a somewhat particular method for mastering techniques.” Said Naruto with a bit of a smirk.
“Well then first on the list is a B-rank and one of my personal favorites Hari Jizo (Needle Guardian).”

While Naruto was beginning his training in earnest with Jiraiya, others were also getting down to business in their own ways. Hinata had opted to set out on her own for a bit of private training with only Kurenai to act as a witness, and Ino had been abducted from her bed by Anko early in the morning only to be rudely awakened in the middle of nowhere. At the same time various other competitors for the main exam were getting down to training of their own in preparation for the battles to come. Elsewhere however the progress of a group of genin didn’t matter in the slightest. Instead within the dark caverns of his hidden base an extremely pale skinned man sat upon a stone made throne exuding killing intent in such amounts that it filled nearly the entire half of the cavern in which he occupied. He had waist length black hair; amber eyes with slits in his pupils and purple markings around his eyes. He wore plain grey garbs with black pants and a thick purple rope belt tied in a large knot behind his back and blue tomoe-shaped earrings.
This man was Orochimaru, a legendary shinobi made famous by being a member of the Legendary Sannin. At a young age, Orochimaru stood out as a prodigy his talents, knowledge, and determination were considered by his sensei a prodigy only seen once in a generation. The Sandaime Hokage’s favorite student he had been his choice for the Yondaime Hokage however unknown to most outside of those who truly knew him the man had always been twisted and despite the effort put in Hiruzen could not get him to see the error of his ways and instead chose Namikaze Minato to succeed him as Yondaime Hokage. Over the years Orochimaru had been secretly kidnapping shinobi of the village and performing inhumane and illegal experiments on them in an effort to not just learn every jutsu the world had to offer but find the secret to immortality. After Minato’s ascension to the seat of Hokage, Orochimaru became less discreet about his actions and as a result left a trail that ended with him being caught red-handed by the Sandaime, however due to the man’s unwillingness to kill his student Orochimaru managed to escape.
Following his defection from his home village the man went on to join a shadowy organization by the name of Akatsuki, a group comprised of high level nuke-nin. It was only a few years later, in the aftermath of the Uchiha Massacre that a young Uchiha Itachi would join the ranks of the organization. Having developed a way to steal the bodies of others thanks to his experimentation Orochimaru saw this as his chance to gain control over the Sharingan. His attempt however ended much different than he had anticipated with the, at the time 13 year old Itachi reversing the technique and severing his left hand. This forced Orochimaru to not only switch bodies to someone else but flee the organization as a whole.
Now five years later here he sat within the hidden catacombs that played host to his new base of operations where he had not only built up his own forces but performed his vile experiments even still. At the moment none of that mattered instead it was the news he had only just received not five minutes ago. A trio of spies he’d had in play had just been killed while on a mission for the Hidden Leaf Village. While two of them were nothing special one of them had been his best spy and in truth a jounin in his own right. This was compounded with the fact that his plans had actually been shifted rather dramatically not so long ago as he had initially planned to be invading the Hidden Leaf within the next month. Instead however the Sandaime had actually moved to Chuunin Exams to Tetsu no Kuni of all places, a move that was in all honesty unprecedented.
The move had set his plans off completely and as his three spies had not been allowed to compete he’d been forced to send two teams to the exams. While one was truly of no consequence the second would be his scouts seeing who if any had potential aside from the one he himself was interested in. After this he would determine which of them would be joining his ranks in the future; or if not becoming his newest test subjects.
